Supporting technical capability

Improve slow Power BI reports and document the calculations.

A short fixed-fee engagement that improves the agreed parts of a slow Power BI model with documented measures and a performance log, so the reports load quickly and the numbers hold up.

Engagement context

Where this capability applies.

  • Reports are slow and refreshes take too long.
  • Measures are inconsistent and nobody trusts the data model.
  • The model grew organically and nobody documented how it works.

The agreed outputs

What the engagement provides.

Fix log for the data model

A before and after of refresh time, model size, and slow queries, with every fix recorded.

Documented measures

Each DAX measure named, explained, and verified so the numbers are trusted again.

Performance recommendations

What to change next to keep the model fast as it grows.

Worked example

Fix log for the data model

An illustration of the record an engagement can produce. Names and figures are constructed for this example.

Illustrative content. The engagement record is developed from the client’s own environment and agreed scope.

Commercial & delivery basis

The scope and conditions of the work.
